Reset Developing Unit C220 ?

[Mr.Mel]

Now GC4-C2, updated from GC3-C2.

UK Version is GC4 - C4

[Chip Resets SA]

That,s one way to do it but a 220/280/360 Dev/Drum reset tool will reset the Dev & Drums with minimal fuss (anyone could do it) and it costs less to buy the Reset tool than 1 set of Dev units...

[JSC]

The firmware will stop the machine from asking for Dev units, Drums, Transfer belt, and also the Fuser. You can now do this with the C253,C451 range of machines as well.

JSC : The C203-C451 range with firmware R6 ?

[Darren King]

C220-C360 use GC4-C4. C451-C650 use GP4-R6. C203 use GR4-R6. C253 use GQ4-R6. C353 use GP4-R6. No reset tool, fuse or chip needed afterward.
Hope this helps
Darren
